Landlords gonna landlord

*them?

Really I swear the fml said dogs....

Freshpie, what are you talking about?... Are you an idiot?... The English language is obviously spoken like this!...

The landlord has to give 24 hour notice of a visit, and although they can enter immediately in an emergency, that does not include checking up on tenants who are breaking rules. The landlord has to serve you with the correct 'order of seeking possession' notice, and then get a court order to evict you so make sure they do OP, don't just move out because they say so.

True on most accounts, but a landlord still has authority to enter a residence for maintenance at any time. It's part of the Renter's Agreement, and ranges for the testing of a new water heater to the inspection of possible flooding damage. Most buildings give out maintenance visit warnings as a courtesy, but it's not a requirement. The landlord and tenant are under a contracted agreement, there is no court order for an eviction. If the tenant were to ever press it in court, the landlord would simply state it was a maintenance visit, renter violated the contract under 2 clauses (smoking/pets), and the court would side with them.

Actually 58 there is in the UK. These are basic tenants rights

Let me get this straight. The landlord can do an eviction, but not a conviction. It's not up to his discretion that he must issue and order of seeking possession. This stuff causes such a sensation causing the FML community puts forth its legal evaluation. What? Tried too hard?

Actually 58 most states REQUIRE notice to enter. I'm not aware of a single state that allows entry without proper notice. Also just because it's in the rental agreement doesn't make it legal. For example, in California they could put it in the rental agreement that the landlord can enter at any time for inspection but if they did it would still be an illegal entry because California law doesn't allow entry without notice.

Actually my basis is Washington state and Washington DC, which I've been able to rent in both. Both times, the Rental Agreement stated that the rental company is allowed unsupervised entry when maintenance or an inspection is required. It also stated that a proper notice will be given prior to said inspection, but that it is a courtesy and can be waived if the rental company suspected possible damage to property. When I was in DC, my landlord installed Carbon Monoxide monitors in all of the units before I got back from lunch without notice. They did however leave a paper in the kitchen stating what took place. My neighbor was a major stoner and apparently he still had his bong stuffed and ready on his livingroom floor. That got reported and he was evicted the next week. I can understand it that they shouldn't be able to due to privacy, but they still use the basis that it's a contractual agreement.

Just because it's in a rental agreement doesn't mean it's legal. I can write up a contract with a person in which I own that person. But that's still chattel slavery and unlawful.

It all depends on the contract you have signed; this is why you read the fine print.

Let me rephrase: if you sign it, you abide by it.

Actually 145 just because it's in a contract doesn't mean you have to abide by it if it's illegal. See 135's comment. That's a perfect example.

But if this takes I'm the UK... Didn't they make owning small amounts of marijuana legal a few years ago? Or am I mistaken?

It's illegal to possess any. But usually the police will just confiscate it and warn you. Really depends on how much you got and if you have any priors.

I've never smoked before but I can't imagine someone that's high, naked and covered with a cluster of cats being very speedy with the probable 10 seconds they would have to run away....
